"No one knows how many veterans who protected us while serving in the United States military have been deported, often to countries they haven't seen since they were babies." On paper, they are eligible for benefits from the VA, but there are many obstacles. www.dailyjournal.com/articles/377...

Scott P, a true red-blooded, tough-as-nails Nebraska cowboy who runs a cow-calf operation, just bestowed upon me the highest honor in cowboy culture. He gave me his Stetson.

This frivolous lawsuit is exactly the kind of corruption Alaskans are sick and tired of.

One of the most competitive House races in US is Wisconsin’s 3rd. Democrat, Rebecca Cooke, is ready to kick out incumbent and 1/6 insurrectionist, Derrick Van Orden. She joins me for the latest in her race, including Van Orden’s repeated use of AI-generated deepfake ads. youtu.be/vaWfahm9NLQ?...

Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Russian double-tap strikes targeting first responders and rescuers in Ukraine have reached at least 40 cases in 2026.

It's no surprise that Elon Musk has spent millions to keep his puppet Mike Lawler in office. Musk is the operator of the largest data center in the world, and Mike cast the deciding vote to give data center operators $80 billion in tax breaks,

Trump told Americans to vote as if he is on the ballot...

Iowa Farmers paid $151,081,106 more for diesel for spring planting this year. And this is before diesel hit record highs this fall, just in time for harvest. The Iran war is devastating Iowa farmers. Zach Nunn voted 5x for this.

“Empathy is very important for democracy” “You can’t have a democracy that is functioning if nobody puts themselves in another one’s shoes.... If we don’t teach our children that, then we don’t have a democracy in 50 years.” Mette Løvbjerg, Møllevang’s headmaster. www.csmonitor.com/World/Europe...

Vucic swept aside in Serbian elections. Can Belgrade break free from Russia’s orbit? The Student List — an electoral alliance formed by Serbia's anti-corruption protesters, bringing together 250 academics, professionals, and public figures — won almost 53% of the vote.

Thank you to the Illinois AFL-CIO for your endorsement! Working people deserve fair pay, safe workplaces, and a retirement they can count on. I’m proud to stand with you, and I’ll fight to protect your right to organize and bargain for better. #ForAllOfUs #Fortier4Congress

If you can’t indict James Comey one time, try try again.🤦🏽‍♀️🙄 Ironic that the same day a judge says his daughter Maurene Comey must be reinstated and paid retroactively. This administration is a gd joke.

Some of the most meaningful moments on the campaign trail have been spending time up in the Sault with the Bay Mills and Sault tribes. We must protect tribal sovereignty, protect our Great Lakes, and ensure everyone can get a good job and know that our basic rights and dignities are preserved.

The importance of salmon might be a novel idea to the Lower 48, but every Alaskan understands. Fish is how we feed our families, drive our economy, and sustain our way of life. I’m the only candidate fighting for our fisheries, not the factory trawlers.

Per a new report from House Democrats, Trump's DOJ is withholding evidence of his ties to Epstein and slow-walking the complete release of the Epstein files. It's time to end the cover-up and expose the truth. Remember this when you cast your ballot. www.ms.now/news/house-j...

8 days to go until Election Day and we’ve knocked 40,000 doors. 

We’re going to flip this seat and the House of Representatives one door at a time.

When someone signs up to serve, our country makes a promise: if your service leaves you injured or sick, we’ll help take care of you. Bost’s proposed veterans’ bill would expand some benefits while reducing future disability payments for conditions like ringing in the ears and sleep apnea.

The conservative Cato Institute looked at the Trump Admin's claims that illegal immigrants are costing taxpayer money by using services. They concluded that immigrants have CONTRIBUTED (not cost) $1.7 trillion. www.cato.org/blog/white-h...

You think Pete understands us?

25-year-old combat medic Eva was killed in Kyiv during a Russian double-tap strike while attempting to save victims.

Being born poor is not a choice. Being born wealthy is not a choice Being born is not a choice!

Economics isn’t necessarily a zero-sum game. But power is zero-sum. The more at the top, the less anywhere else. The fact is, wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. To understand the system, we need to understand the cycle.

The rigged system in DC is allowing career politicians to become multimillionaires while Alaska families struggle to afford basic necessities. It's time for term limits. It's time to ban congressional stock trading.

One of those moments I'll never forget.

Congratulations to Michele Tafoya on earning Donald Trump’s “Complete and Total Endorsement.” I’m sure you’re very proud.

Families were already choosing between heat and groceries last winter – and that was before Dan Sullivan voted for the price-hiking Iran war 14 times. Alaskans across the state are ready to vote him out and bring down costs.

Gold medal-winner Laila Edwards: “I’m voting for Sherrod Brown because…”

Elon apparently wasn't too happy about our latest episode of the Coffee Klatch — and my criticisms of him. Here's the full conversation, in case you missed it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa6g...

8 days till election day! These are the 8 things I want to get to work on as soon as I get to Congress.

Jon Husted voted against lowering health care costs 9 times, putting his health insurance donors over hardworking Ohioans.

60 people have now died in ICE custody since Trump's return to office. Our country is set to spend $268 BILLION on mass deportations and detentions through the end of Trump's term. Instead of death and cruelty, imagine what we could have invested that money in instead?

We are 8 days out from Election Day. Vote EARLY. Find an official ballot drop box or vote in-person. Let’s take back Congress.

Backlash to data centers might very well be the biggest issue in the midterms, with nearly 70 percent of Americans opposing them. Is it any wonder why?

Jesse Ventura to Piker: "Here's what pisses me off -- I did 2 tours, 17 months. So did my brother. Southeast Asia. That was at the same time Donald Trump was running and hiding like the coward he is. Why didn't he join us in the Vietnam War? I've heard him talk. He said he should be a general!"

Polling is unpredictable. This race is neck-and-neck. We’re doing everything we can to help every Alaskan make their voice heard, but we’re counting on you to help. Please, pitch in today: secure.actblue.com/donate/soc-o...

The legend himself 🇺🇸 Grateful for the support from Shotgun Willie!

This war in Iran is raising the cost of everything. There is help available for getting food, paying for heat, or weatherizing your home. Go to MaryPeltola.com/Help for a list of resources available to you. Stay safe, and look out for each other.

The best part of AFN is the people ❤️Quyana!

Big Oil profits have skyrocketed since Trump launched his Iran War. Meanwhile, Trump himself owns up to $81 million in oil and gas stocks — which have increased in value by 43% since the end of 2025. When Trump says "we're making a freaking fortune," understand who he is really talking about.

Early voting is underway in nearly every state (more details below). Have you voted yet? I urge you to do whatever you can to get out the vote in your communities and vote as soon as you can.

Life was already hard enough before Donald Trump lied us into war, before his tariffs made everything more expensive, and before he doubled your health insurance premiums and slashed Medicaid.

Former Chair of the Nebraska Libertarian Party Rachael Nelson moderated our roundtable event on Saturday. Here’s a clip of her opening remarks.
